I'm 5'9" and I have the Azur speedy 25 and I love it. I was a little nervous about the size at first also, but it is so cute and I have gotten more complements on how good it looks on me . I would keep it. I have exchanged gifts that my Dh chose and now he's afraid to surprize me. So now when he makes the effort to get me something I keep it. Good luck it's a great bag.
